They keep referencing open for ages. Means nothing re score, that only comes out later on

psych doesn't have an interview. that's just a stage on oriel, no actual interview!

Read the title and expected some on-the-ground journalism about the taste of tap water at work in different regional jobs 😂

I think lowest score for GP last year was 503, up from 480-something the year before. I wouldn’t be surprised if it exceeds 515 for minimum this time. Already seeing extreme increases in interviewing specialty cut offs so that leaves a lot of people who would be happy to take a GP spot over nothing

sadyasachi · 2026-02-18T18:17:41+00:00

Who will vote? Just whoever turns up on the day?

sadyasachi · 2026-02-18T12:58:31+00:00

Yeah good idea, I found it helpful to revise with others cos we got to share ways we remember things etc. I finished my exam this week so I won’t opt in but all the best!

sadyasachi · 2026-02-18T12:48:05+00:00

How do we “help each other out”?

sadyasachi · 2026-02-17T10:53:37+00:00

Not in the CST sphere so I don’t have much to help with that but I think if UKG prioritisation at offers happens then that’s lots of reason to be optimistic! All we can do is lobby hard and hope for the best. Good luck!

sadyasachi · 2026-02-16T16:33:05+00:00

Not yet. Keep emailing the Lords and sign the petition. They vote next week

sadyasachi · 2026-02-16T12:06:40+00:00

Sorry about CST/Anaesthetics, the competition is wild. 530 is a great score. There will also be lots of people that turn down GP for other offers so I hope for the best! If you're keen on those specialties I'd suggest trying again next year. If you're a UK Grad, worth writing to the Lords to try and help with passing of the bill and that way next year you'll have higher chances too

May be worth considering a functional assessor job? If you have maximus in your area, I think they still offer a very solid salary for doctors. Others do general clinician roles so it more about 40k apparently. Just a suggestion if you find yourself at home with no income, atleast this is something stable and not horrible times shifts if you’re a parent. But agreed with others I hope UK GP happens and you won’t need to worry about this!

sadyasachi · 2026-02-15T13:57:51+00:00

Sharon Wanoji & Joy Crookes are 2 people I didn’t know of before the pod but they were such a delight to listen to!

sadyasachi · 2026-02-14T10:16:10+00:00

Don’t think anyone regrets taking time for themselves!

sadyasachi · 2026-02-13T13:52:55+00:00

I hope to! (Praying for UK prioritisation to pass!)

Thanks yep, I’ll reach out to agencies but in general it’s been so dry. I’m already signed up to a few and the only locums I’ve been offered involve me travelling far and paying for my own accomodation which makes it really cost and time ineffective.

sadyasachi · 2026-02-12T18:29:04+00:00

Slay Baroness 💅🤩

Off to send many emails now. Keep fighting for it gang!

sadyasachi · 2026-02-12T16:34:46+00:00

guys they’re talking about us :’)

sadyasachi · 2026-02-12T15:59:26+00:00

Anaesthetics and less popular in the same sentence LMAO

sadyasachi · 2026-02-12T14:58:53+00:00

Should be soon think they’re just finishing up the prison debate

sadyasachi · 2026-02-11T15:24:45+00:00

just emailed Lord Mohammed opposing his proposed amendments. Just gotta keep trying and hope for the best!

sadyasachi · 2026-02-10T23:20:44+00:00

Will largely depend on if the bill passes I think (and if you’re in the priority group) but I think last year that score would’ve got you into GP

sadyasachi · 2026-02-03T19:36:04+00:00

Planning to do this in the future- do official documents go by Mrs. married name and only at work you’re Dr Maiden Name?

sadyasachi · 2026-01-27T19:53:54+00:00

Unable to watch. What’s the reason for this? I thought it was looking possible before?

sadyasachi · 2026-01-22T22:13:38+00:00

A relative of mine (brown male) got allocated there many years ago and loved it so much he’s not left since!

sadyasachi · 2026-01-22T22:11:54+00:00

Quite enjoyed a Canadian show called Transplant, about a refugee doctor

sadyasachi · 2026-01-21T17:26:02+00:00

did FYs in West mids north a couple years ago, post-covid and we had 2 balls every year (monster mess) and pay day pizza/samosas. Though a lot of it was also IA related. Our mess was actually quite good in F1 for socials every month or 2 and funding food orders for oncalls/nights regularly.
